PSA-49:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. 
Hear this, all [ye] people; give ear, all [ye] inhabitants of 
the world:



PSA-49:2 Both low and high, rich and poor, together.



PSA-49:3 My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of 
my heart [shall be] of understanding.



PSA-49:4 I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my 
dark saying upon the harp.



PSA-49:5 Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, [when] the 
iniquity of my heels shall compass me about?



PSA-49:6 They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves 
in the multitude of their riches;



PSA-49:7 None [of them] can by any means redeem his brother, nor 
give to God a ransom for him:



PSA-49:8 (For the redemption of their soul [is] precious, and it 
ceaseth for ever:)



PSA-49:9 That he should still live for ever, [and] not see 
corruption.



PSA-49:10 For he seeth [that] wise men die, likewise the fool 
and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.



PSA-49:11 Their inward thought [is, that] their houses [shall 
continue] for ever, [and] their dwelling places to all 
generations; they call [their] lands after their own names.



PSA-49:12 Nevertheless man [being] in honour abideth not: he is 
like the beasts [that] perish.



PSA-49:13 This their way [is] their folly: yet their posterity 
approve their sayings. Selah.



PSA-49:14 Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall 
feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in 
the morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from 
their dwelling.



PSA-49:15 But God will redeem my soul from the power of the 
grave: for he shall receive me. Selah.



PSA-49:16 Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the 
glory of his house is increased;



PSA-49:17 For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his 
glory shall not descend after him.



PSA-49:18 Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and [men] 
will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself.



rPSA-49:19 He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they 
shall never see light.



PSA-49:20 Man [that is] in honour, and understandeth not, is 
like the beasts [that] perish.
